Your opinion is spot on. I just traded my 22' F-350 SRW Powerstroke for a 24' GMC 2500 AT4 Duramax. My 22' Ford was absolutely faster than the GMC, although the Ford had a gearing advantage (3.55) over the GMC (3.42). My Ford also had better fuel economy 17.7 mpg vs 16.8 in the GMC. On paper the Ford is the better truck, but on a daily basis the GMC feels like a much better truck. The ride, noise, and interior seem better put together. Not to mention all the annoying chimes my Ford had. So far I'm very happy with the AT4, thanks for posting this review.

Man… memories. I grew up on a ranch in New Mexico, not too big, about 13000 acres in the last part of the Sacramento and Guadeloupe Mountains (where they collide). Went into the Navy in 88, last kid to leave home and my folks sold the ranch in 92 :(. Sadly their main source of income was sheep and the predators were eating them alive.

I love where they put the trailer braking. It seems like your arm and hand is next to the trailer brake without reaching or searching in an emergency. The only negative is the column shifter could be a stubby so it doesn’t block the display.

I agree I just hit 2500 miles with my 2024 high country dually , ford takes it on center console storage , and for me towing my 25k fully loaded gooseneck with proper shocker hitch it goes more comfortably than ford , the ford had turbo lag for sure but could still burn tires , the Chevy / gmc I do like the high idle switch it runs and stops before I even finish a smoke , apples and oranges , hell I still own my 2002 7.3 with 160k miles on it transmission 15k miles still drive it to this day always a ford guy at heart but gmc stepping the game way up

@TeeCamp10 6 ай бұрын

I've got a 24 High Country DRW and I can not get above 17mpg as my BEST 50 mile average on this thing. My last truck was a 20' SRW Denali and it would get over 20 often. Every tank I reset the trip and I average 11-12 mpg for the entire tank and can never get over 350 miles per tank. I have not towed with it much yet either. Has about 2,000 miles on it. If the fuel mileage doesn't get better, I will part ways with it. Can't imagine I am going to see a dramatic difference in mpg once it "breaks in" like most are telling me to watch out for. I should be getting 11-12 mpg TOWING, not empty.

@dirtnakedfarms 6 ай бұрын

Yeah that sucks.... I'm getting a solid 17-18 on the 50 mile. That DRW might be geared higher not sure. My biggest complaint is the seats, I hate the seats....

@robedmund9948 6 ай бұрын

In your opinion, since you've pulled with both, which is more comfortable on long trips? I'm a bigger guy and given that both trucks are capable as hell, comfort on the interior is becoming more important. Thanks in advance for your opinion. Looking forward to that comparison.

@dirtnakedfarms 6 ай бұрын

This is a tough one fore me. I like making long trips in the GMC. Especially pulling my 5th wheel/Gooseneck because of the engine and transmission. I just like the way it tows better. At the end of the day the ford seats are WAY more comfortable. Its a night and day difference to me and I am a bigger guy. The GM seats are very stiff and I find myself adjusting position while driving allot more. So if I was to pick the most comfortable on long trips the Ford wins hands down because of the seats. Another thing to consider is the pedals are not adjustable in the GM, and the steering column is manual so it takes a bit to get used to. The Ford wins on long haul comfort in my honest opinion. Thanks for the comment!!!

I've owned all 3 trucks. 19 F350, 21 ram 3500, 23 chev high country 2500 now. I find Ram and Ford have their pros for certain things. Ford has better front end, better trans. Ram is nicer and more features. Better exhaust brake. The GM isn't really the best at anything. But it's good at everything. Making it an all around good truck

@STEEL.AXL1 6 ай бұрын

There is a reason the lots are full of Rams. That pretty interior will fall to pieces and all those fancy things seem to stop working. I was a strict Ram guy. Never again, I purchase a vehicle to use not sit in the service bay at a dealership then have the warranty dept use any excuse not to cover the problem. Everything works on the Duramax , works well and stays working.

Also the L5P doesn't allow for full torque or hp at slower speeds unless in tow and haul mode... plus it's hard to really tell the power differences because one could be in regen while the other is not yk... it's hard to tell but Banks dynoed a new 24 duramax while not in regen and it came out to 900wheel tq and 420whp which adjusted for AWD powertrain losses comes out too 530hp and 1100ft lbs of torque but on top of that the duramax has peak torque at 1600 rpm and they couldn't get the truck to go full throttle at 1600 rpm on the dyne so they couldn't find peak torque@@dirtnakedfarms

Power wise the Duramax will out run my Ford with the same load all day every day most don't believe that but have pulled the same loaded trailer with each. Empty the Ford might have a slight edge in a race. Economy is almost identical in both. I hate the chimes on the GMC.
